C.C. was everything we expect from him today. His stuff was dynamite and he pitched eight strong, allowing just one run and a walk while he struck out nine. The Yankees pounded the Rockies, 8-3. Six players had at least two hits, including an increasingly banged-up Alex Rodriguez, who is now hitting an even .300.
Little Pony gets on to give Big Adrian a chance to tie the game in the ninth with two out....
Hanrahan is serving cheese, and A-Gon is fouling it off...
Oh, fooled him with the slider!
And the Pirates win again in Fenway!
Ladies and gentlemen, first place is ours alone.
Except, it was in Pittsburgh, of course. Dummy.
All hail CC
Man, WOW, the Pirates beat the Sox twice in a row? Go figure that.
